#WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal: TMC leader Madan Mitra arrives at the residence of party chairperson Mamata Banerjee.

Ah yes, the perfect masterstroke by @nitin_gadkari. A rs 7.24 lakh "flex-fuel" Wagon R that's restricted to commercial buyers, costs more than the Tour H3, runs on fuel that's pricier than CNG, and delivers lower efficiency. Truly a revolutionary achievement in making every metric worse simultaneously. Hopefully, people aren't called Bangladeshis for not buying this overpriced junk.


Loaded the car with XP100 at last - just to check how the car performs . 167.5 rupees a litre for pure petrol In india ! Day light scam orchestrated by the great @nitin_gadkari !

US TO RELEASE $12 BILLION IN FROZEN IRANIAN ASSETS BEFORE NUCLEAR TALKS BEGIN: IRAN’S MEHR NEWS AGENCY

US SPR Drawdown & Looming Crude Shortage ! The attacks on the Indian seamen aboard shadow fleet were an American sign of desperation creeping. Trump is escalating to de-escalate be it US Navy strikes in Gulf Of Oman or IDF strikes in Beirut ! The clocks of crude drawn down in SPR in USA & the cushing in Oklahoma are running close to emergency levels which is going to make it difficult for Americans to manage crude prices. They are soon going to be hitting emergency levels. Thus you see this escalation to pile up pressure on Iranians to yield for an agreement. US Navy’s demonstrative strike on Shadow oil fleet tankers simply happens to be its cold ruthless strategy to enforce the blockade and raise the escalation level up. And very unfortunately Indian crews operating in these Iranian shadow oil trade tankers have caught up in this bid for escalation for President Trump. Consider this data below separating fact from narrative to understand the severity of shock Oil market is staring at. As a vital chokepoint, Hormuz normally handles 25% of global seaborne oil trade (roughly 20% of total global consumption). This disruption has choked off an estimated 11 to 16 million barrels of daily supply, with tanker traffic plummeting to a mere 10% of pre-conflict levels. To counteract this massive supply shock, global oil stockpiles are currently draining at a highly unsustainable rate of 4.8 million barrels per day. To stabilize markets, the International Energy Agency (IEA) initiated its largest emergency intervention in history, orchestrating a coordinated 400-million-barrel release across 32 allied nations. The United States is shouldering the largest burden of this global effort, authorizing a massive 172-million-barrel drawdown from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This aggressive release drops the SPR from 415 million barrels down to 243 million barrels. The reserve now sits at a precarious 34% of its 714-million-barrel total capacity, marking its lowest operating level since February 1982. International markets are flashing red. Asia-Pacific commercial inventories (excluding China) have suffered a staggering plunge of 70 million barrels, and analysts warn OECD stockpiles will soon hit critical operational stress levels. This physical drain has violently impacted global financial markets, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices surging 47% in two weeks, leaping from $67 to nearly $99 per barrel. Meanwhile, the Brent crude international benchmark briefly spiked to $120 a barrel before finding temporary stabilization around $100. U.S. commercial oil infrastructure is fracturing under the weight of the Middle East blockade. Cushing, Oklahoma the vital delivery hub for U.S. crude is nearing catastrophic operational failure. Following an aggressive 11.3-million-barrel plunge between April and June 2026, Cushing’s inventory crashed to just 21.6 million barrels. This alarming figure sits dangerously close to the facility's 20-million-barrel "tank bottoms" operational floor. Falling below this 26.7% capacity threshold of the 75-million-barrel tank farms renders the system functionally unusable due to physical pumping constraints and sludge accumulation. With less than a 2-million-barrel buffer remaining, industry data projects Cushing will hit this floor within one to two weeks if current drawdown rates persist. Clocks are ticking by, American Oil supplies are soon reach emergency levels in few weeks. And a lot of crude inventory at bottom cannot be used as that is lifeblood to keep the system running. We are soon hitting the tipping point on that in commercial crud inventories and even other SPR levels will reach emergency levels. Where US can either prioritise itself or its allies for crude supplies. And that is where fuel shock is loading. Every day & every week adds more pressure on USA. Iranians know this and they are playing Trump in a game of nerve wrecking negotiations. @HimjaParekh !

The government’s ethanol policy in one sentence: Privatise the risk , socialise the applause .

Looks like we are doomed! What if the cars get damaged due to E20, and the insurance doesn't support the claim? Who will bear the costs? We pay road tax, car tax, fuel tax... if the car gets damaged, should we just sell it as scrap, pay tax on the scrap income too? 🤷♂️

Oh damn. Mamata Banerjee's Biswa Bangla thrown from top at Chandrakono.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard. With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi
